And, what if we all dumped our grey tank contents on the ground? For years? Granted, no Super Fund site but every little bit of dumping like litter hurts. It's the cumulative effect.
Considering the small number of pop-ups on the road compared to all other RV's, I doubt it would have any effect at all. Pop-up sinks ARE NOT the same size as any other RV. They are tiny - I'm gonna guess they hold a little over a gallon if empty and filled to the brim - the amount of water dumped is tiny. We ARE NOT talking about dumping a 40 gallon holding tank - we are talking about a few gallons of soapy water.
If you are going to jump down the throat of a pop-up dumping their gray water, than you darn well better not EVER wash your car in your driveway/yard... There is 100x more soapy water on the ground as a result of someone washing a vehicle....
I said I was talking about the cumulative effect of decades. There are inflatable sturdy plastic containers that you can store your grey water in. We had one when we had our Four Wheel Camper that just had the fresh water tank. Some people are just lazy, stupid or inconsiderate or all three.
Btw, we wash our truck/camper with a biodegradable car wash solution a s we live near a creek. We also just had a $20k septic system installed.
